Heart Attack
Bells Of Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talkin' to the guy who lives next door
And you were in the corner with your fingers crossed
Bite my tongue
While I was workin' nights at the Tast-E-Freeze
You were down on 7th street forgetting me
And I was so in love with you I couldn't see
Broken love
Without yourself, I'm more like you
Without myself, you'd do what you do
You don't ever wanna love me back
Your love's quicker than a heart attack
You steal my love and then you give it right back
Your love's quicker than a heart attack
When I come home to you everyday
You never got anything to say
It's breakin' my heart, but it's making your day
Foolish games
Well, if you wanna leave me, just say so
I can't stop you when you go
I'd play your fool, but it's better I know
Runaway
Without me here, you'd fall apart
Without you here, I'd be better off
You don't ever wanna love me back
Your love's quicker than a heart attack
You steal my love and then you give it right back
Your love's quicker than a heart attack
(repeat)
"Heart Attack" by Bells Of is a song that speaks to the heart-wrenching pain of unrequited love. The lyrics are rich in imagery and carefully chosen words that paint a picture of a relationship that's falling apart. The song tells the story of Sarah, who sees Jane on the dance floor with a guy who lives next door to her. Meanwhile, Bells Of, the singer, is in the corner with his fingers crossed, watching as the love of his life slips away.
The lines "Without yourself, I'm more like you / Without myself, you'd do what you do" highlight the fact that the relationship has become one-sided, with Bells Of trying to change to fit the desires of his beloved. The chorus "You don't ever wanna love me back / Your love's quicker than a heart attack / You steal my love and then you give it right back" reveal how love has become a game, with the beloved taking and giving love as it suits them, without reciprocating Bells Of's affection.
The bridge of the song "Well, if you wanna leave me, just say so / I can't stop you when you go / I'd play your fool, but it's better I know / Runaway" shows that Bells Of knows that the relationship is doomed, but holding on anyway because he's in love. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, driving home the message that love that's not reciprocated is like a heart attack, it can kill you.
